The tape capacity given by 'tapetype' is used to decide if it'll
fit the volume? I'm using a Sony SDT-9000 that suposely could compress
something. Can I increase the 'length' parameter and hope that the
compression will do its job?

Yes, the /etc/dumpdates tell me that this volume was last backed
up on April 4th.
I run 'amdmin force' every night to ensure that a full backup will
be done, this could generate that message?
